Are listed precut kits available?

Published products are offered for purchase, but some pattern images are representative or still being added. The product description and selected options identify the included coverage. Contact us before ordering if you need confirmation of the pattern or pieces included.

Will the kit match my vehicle?

Order using the exact year, make, model, trim, body style, sensors, washers, tow-hook openings, and other listed options. We may request vehicle photographs or confirmation before cutting. Contact us before purchasing if you are unsure. A kit that materially differs from the confirmed order remains eligible for review.

What does my checkout signature mean?

Signing and submitting the checkout expresses your intent to sign electronically for the order. It confirms that you reviewed the order selections and accepted the Terms, Return Policy, Shipping Policy, and Dispute & Chargeback Policy presented or linked at checkout, and acknowledged the Privacy Policy. It does not waive valid claims, mandatory consumer rights, or bank dispute rights. See the Terms of Service for details.

Can I cancel or return a custom-cut kit?

Contact us immediately about an error. Changes or cancellations cannot be guaranteed once cutting, preparation, or shipment begins. Custom-cut products are final sale for change-of-mind returns after production begins. This does not exclude valid claims involving damage, defects, incorrect or materially misdescribed goods, non-delivery, or remedies required by law.

What if my shipment is damaged?

Contact us promptly with the order number and a description. Keep the material, tube or box, label, and packaging. Provide relevant photographs where available and, where practical, do not install or alter affected material before review. If photos are unavailable, contact us about another reasonable assessment method. We will review the order and assist with any applicable carrier or insurance claim. Insurance does not remove our legal obligations.

What if the package is missing or marked delivered?

Check the delivery location and contact us promptly. We will review the shipping address, tracking, signature or delivery information, and other available records. A tracking scan is relevant evidence but does not automatically resolve every non-delivery claim.

What if I suspect a material defect?

Inspect material before installation and contact us promptly with the order number, description, and relevant photographs. Where practical, stop work on the affected piece until we review it. We assess the available evidence to distinguish a material defect from installation or handling damage. Installing a piece does not automatically eliminate a valid claim for a defect that could not reasonably have been discovered earlier.

What if the pattern appears short or different?

Some PPF patterns require controlled stretching, but a piece that appears short should not automatically be assumed correct. Confirm the vehicle, panel, pattern, and coverage. Contact us with photographs before excessive stretching or alteration. Pattern suppliers may revise designs, but the delivered kit must still match the material, vehicle fitment, and coverage agreed for the order.

What damage is considered installation-related?

Silvering, stretch marks, contamination, lifting, creases, adhesive damage, or distortion may result from preparation, mixtures, temperature, handling, or technique, but the cause cannot be determined from a symptom alone. Send photographs and a description. Damage caused by improper installation is not a manufacturing defect; a genuine unrelated defect remains eligible for review.

Do you provide installation help?

Installation videos may be emailed with the order. Personalized installation coaching from an experienced installer may be offered as a separately purchased service. You do not need to buy installation support to report damage, defects, missing or incorrect goods, or another order concern.

What basic tools and mixtures are commonly used?

Common tools include clean spray bottles, a PPF squeegee, suitable surface-preparation supplies, a clay bar where appropriate, and controlled heat used according to the film manufacturer’s instructions. Installers commonly use separate slip and tack solutions, but ratios vary by film, water, temperature, and technique. Excess soap, alcohol, heat, or stretching can damage installation quality. Review the applicable manufacturer guidance and contact us with questions before installation.

Are film-brand logos printed on the liner?

Backing-liner printing varies by manufacturer and product line. The absence of printed logos is not by itself proof that material is incorrect. The order record, selected film, packaging, and available manufacturer information should be reviewed together. Contact us if the material received appears inconsistent with the order.

Is there a manufacturer warranty?

Warranty eligibility and documentation depend on the specific film and the manufacturer’s written terms. We do not promise one blanket warranty for every product or DIY installation. Contact us with the order number for the coverage applicable to the purchase. A manufacturer decision does not replace remedies required by law.

How long will the order take?

Standard custom processing is typically 7–15 business days and may begin after required vehicle information is confirmed. Carrier transit is separate and is typically estimated at 5–8 business days domestically after acceptance. Expedited carrier service does not automatically shorten production. Contact us before ordering if you have a deadline.

What should I do before a chargeback?

For a purchase you authorized, contact us first and give us a reasonable opportunity to review and resolve the issue, subject to applicable law and payment-provider rules. Include the order number, problem, relevant evidence, and requested resolution. You do not have to delay reporting an unauthorized transaction, miss a deadline, or waive rights. A dispute is not automatically fraud. We may provide relevant order, signature, shipping, communication, and resolution records to the payment provider for review.

Do you ship internationally?

Contact us before ordering to confirm availability, payment, delivery service, customs requirements, and charges. Unless expressly included at checkout, customers are responsible for applicable duties, taxes, tariffs, and customs fees.

How do I get help?
